Background:
I initially started playing with car audio in 1982 while in high school. My first car was a 1979 Toyota Celica which had both stereo and performance mods (Header, lowered suspension, rim/tire upgrades, and Kenwood stereo system). Second car was a 1978 Cutlass w/built 350, followed by a 1967 Camaro. I went full out on customizing a 1983 Corolla, then migrated to a 1993 Probe GT. Next up was my 2002 Maxima SE which was my first Nissan modified project. My current vehicle is a 2008 Infiniti G37s Coupe and a 2007 intiniti G35s sedan. I have also owned additional Nissan products that were not modified (other than stereo):
1996 Nissan Sentra GXE
1998 Nissan Quest
2000 Mercury Villager Estate (Hey, it’s really a Quest!)
Mechanical knowledge comes from working on my own cars and includes just about everything other than full engine/tranny rebuilds. Being an “Old Fart”, I don’t do too many mechanical repairs anymore, unless I am assisting other people.
Hobbies:
Cars, of course. I hope to have a muscle car in my garage within the next couple of years (which seems to be a desire that’s constantly delayed). I like woodworking, computers, golf, and home improvement projects as well.A s seen here, another hobby that I enjoy is doing webpage design, including the latest forum changes plus numerous NICO portals. My personal home page is: www.moodym.com and I also own www.InfinitiG37.com and www.370zCoupe.com.
